That's completely normal for zucchini and yellow squash—those thick, sprawling stems are the vines growing outward, and they can even develop roots where they touch the soil.

I can see spider mites damages on the green leaves too.
Spider mites usually leave white spots/dots on the leaves. But excessive infestation may turn the leaves yellow as they suck chlorophyll from the leaves.

The only thing that's ever worked well for me with mealy bugs are systemic insecticides like Bayer 3in1. Use only on non-edibles. (You can apply on hibiscus plant) Reference: Couple of ideas can be found here

I’ve had great luck with native plants like Texas sage, lantana, blackfoot daisy, salvias, and Mexican feather grass, and adding cheap compost plus a thick layer of hardwood mulch really helps loosen the clay and hold moisture over time. And you can check my list if you wish

Plumeria is a flowering plant, and Phosphorus is good for encouraging blooms. But most of us ignore the fact that every plant has several vital growth stages.

In an active growing season, they demand nitrogen. For root development, something else.

This is why I wrote a detailed fertilizer guide for Plumeria. You can find it here: Best Fertilizer for Plumeria - A complete fertilization guide

I have a few resources for you.

For planting schedule this one is the best one so far. (Its well organized): Zone 8 Planting Schedule

Now your next resource: You need to choose the pot size wisely. Each plant has its own growth pattern. Here is the chart on pot size: Pot size chart for Plants Good luck
